Need Clarification on Storage and Transport
Would one of you fine gentlemen clear up these two topics for me? Or direct me to legislation that contains this information?
1. What are the rules regarding storage of shotguns in the home? Do they need to have trigger locks? What if I disassemble my guns? Ammo needs to be in a different room? 2. When driving to a hunt, can my shotgun be in the vehicle (unloaded of course) without a trigger lock? Your clarification would leave me forever in your debt...well not forever, but for a few minutes at least! |
My guns are locked in a room, not need for a trigger lock.
When transporting you also do no need a trigger lock or even have the gun in a case. There are exceptions of course, many municipalities have regulations regarding cased guns , and going through a Provincial park you need to have your gun cased. Cat |
Catinthehat is on target. However if they re not in a locked room then trigger locks are required and ammo must be sperate. If your firearm is altered not to fire (i.e dissassembled) then there is no need to lock it as it has been rendered inoperable.

Print off a copy so you can refer to it...keep a copy in your gun case and truck.

I have heard of the municipalities having different laws but why when they can not supersede federal law.. g73 |
Thank you all, this was exactly what I was looking for.

I am also to the understanding that if you have a small safe or lock box for the bolts on a bolt gun..you can have the barreled action in a stock sitting in your living room. |
According to federal law you must store your non-restricted guns
A) unloaded. and(at least ONE of the following) B)Rendered inoperable by removing the bolt or bolt carrier (oddly enough they don't say anything about you having to lock up the bolt after it's removed) OR a lock on the trigger or action, rendering the gun inoperable OR in a locked container or locked room that "cannot be easily broken into" |
Ammo storage must be stored "separate" from guns, but may be stored in the same locked container as your guns.
Transporting non restricted's is very simple. They must be unloaded. That is all. No trigger lock, case or anything else else is required UNLESS you are leaving them in the vehicle unattended, in which case they must be out of sight(put em in the trunk, cover them with you jacket, whatever no trigger lock required). That is all. |

Black Powder
Interestingly, loaded Black Powder rifles/shotguns can be in your vehicle provided the other rules are followed, so long as you do not have a percussion cap on the nipple.
